Consumption of nutritionally enriched hen eggs enhances endothelium-dependent vasodilation via cyclooygenases’ metabolites in healthy young persons - A randomized study
Abstract:Background
Present study aimed to evaluate the effects of enriched hen eggs consumption on the endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) and the role of cyclooxygenases in EDV in microcirculation of young healthy individuals.
Methods
Participants consumed 3 eggs per day for 3 weeks: Control group (n = 14) consumed regular hen eggs (approximately 0.330 mg of lutein, 1.785 mg of vitamin E, 0.054 mg of selenium and 438 mg of n-3 PUFAs daily) and Nutri4 group (n = 20) consumed enriched eggs (approximately 1.85 mg… Show more
